course

Course Credit:  3

A 3-unit MFA Studio class that is entirely focused on painting and or drawing compositions that support the clear objectives of the individual artist. Four distinctly different approaches will be incorporated: 1 Formal, 2 Exploratory, 3 Persuasive, and 4 Disruptive. Aside from the content, what makes this format unique is that 4 different artists will teach and work alongside the students while they, demonstrate, lecture and critique. The selected artists will each have their own unique “filter” or approach suited to the defined approach (formal, exploratory, persuasive, or disruptive). and the students will experience, first hand, the thoughts and actions taken toward the objective. The course will expand awareness of the options and approaches to representational art. A variety of materials, mindsets, and methodology will be introduced.
